The Pontlnaid Journail epltomiSzes 'the reasons why Joe Cannon is a stench In the noatrlls of decent men everywhere regardless of party, in the following vigorous summing up: . Cannon is narrow, fossilized, big oted, vindictive, vengeful and in ev ery way Bat against progress and the latere sits of the people. He stands against waterways, against reclama jD 1 of arid ilands, against postal sav ings batiks, against the parcels post, against consenauloin of coal lands and Ovher national resources, against le383iilng the burdens of the people by lower tariff taxes. He stands for everything that colossal robbers of the common, people want, for every swindling Joker and trick in tariff trust, the sLeel trust, the coal trust, auid every other chousing and gouging scheme of syndicated capi talist uffid vampires that can be pro posed. And the twin burden and Iniquity of Can'.ionlsm In. the house Is Al diilchisim dn the senate.

"The total cut of National Forest timber during the year was nearly 460,000,000 board feet, of which over 100,000,000 feet were given awav un der free-use permi a," says the Seore-. try of Agriculture in his last an nual report which has Just been mode. The timber acquired under freejuse. permJita was used1 .by settlers, schools and churches within the for- OBits.' The Secretary Bays that tihe receipts from timber sales were about $700,000, and continues: ''Free use of timber was heaviest in Idiaho, with over 18,000,000 board feet, followed by .Montana, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico, with amounits ranging from nearly 17,000,000 to less than 10,000,000 feet. California, Wyoming, and Oreeon had each a free-use cut of betwen 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 feet. The remaining Na tional Forest states- follow with leas er amounits. 8PIRIT OF RETALIATION. The (ollowlnig clipping is request ed to be republished. It comes from man. of mature years and a deep 'thinker: "In a religious paper I recently read some very harsh strictures of an old brother. These strictures were by a young brother who thought the old one had unjustly criticised him. After the hansh utterances by the young brother, he then says, or Intimates, that he would say a great deal more fif the old brother criti cised him any more. He also. In conclusion, boasted greatly of him self as. to hl ability, of the high es timation In which the brethren held htoi, and pf the $re.U work he was doing." Now adinLtimg the fact that the old brother did unjustly criticise him, the thought occurs to me that such bitter retaliation is as great, if not greater, sin a that committed by the aid broher. "Retaliation gratifies the flesh, but never answers argument. A skunk can not help beduig a skunk, and it seems ' very toolish to me for any decent anlir-al to try to outskunk hla silcimkahlip. You leave the skunk in hlgi proper element, while the d'uher bears the scent of association, or at least of aasdim Illation. If one feaslts, moves end has his. being in. ugly, unjust orlticitim of brethren, then pray as Paul did, for God to 'deliver you from unreasonable and ungodly men. The natural food of a buzzard is carrio.i. Shall you, broth er, go and oat food with the buz zard in order to teach his buzzard ship the folly of eatilmg such food? If so, you will be nauseated and carry away the s tench of the buz zard, but .will never convince hiira that carrion is not good food fon buzzards, "Brethren, tililnk on these things and quit trying ta outsmut the smutty fallow.
